If a vacancy opens up on the Supreme Court next year during the presidential campaign, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he'll try to win confirmation for President Trump's nominee. During the last campaign, McConnell blocked confirmation for Merrick Garland, who was nominated by President Obama. On Tuesday, CNN reports, the Senate majority leader was asked at a Chamber of Commerce event in Kentucky what his position would be if a vacancy occurred on the court next year. "Oh, we'd fill it," McConnell said. In 2016, McConnell said he was blocking Garland because voters in the presidential election should be able to decide who would make the justice nomination.

They need to take Clarence's seat away. That would be two seats and they damn well better fill them with women. At least one has to be a white woman of US descent. Actually, both have to be of US descent and cannot wear religious garb.

Why wouldn't he not allow the Obama legacy to grow even worse? It's called the RULE OF LAW. As a point of information for the lefticles: McConnell's move was totally legal and expected by 100% of the thinking public. Had the Hildebeast won she would have had her run at the Constitution and would have needed a contact in high places to keep her out of jail. WHAT A BUNCH OF WHINEY CLOWNS ARE THE LEFT!

Another shock from the most corrupt and Constitution-hating political party in the history of this country? No, not really.
